In our continuing series through Deuteronomy, we saw last week how God uses discipline in the lives of his people, so that our lives will look like the lives of God’s people should look. This past Sunday, November 9 we examined how God’s power will go against people within the community. We read Deuteronomy 11:1-7 and referenced Numbers 16, as we saw Korah and 250 other disgruntled leaders question the authority of Moses and Aaron–God’s appointed leaders–and basically ask, “Who do you think you are?”

Moses replied to these rebels that it was against the Lord that they banded together and came against–not Moses and Aaron. We saw God’s cleansing of the community of God’s people. Our senior pastor concluded his sermon with some questions to ponder:

How much do you love the community of God’s people–what we now call the church?

How important is the community in your life?

What is more important to you: your life as an individual or your life as part of the community of God’s people?

What do you do to protect the community?

What do you do to promote and strengthen and build up the community?

Have you ever been a “virus” in the community and, if so, why? What did you hope to achieve?

What place does the authority God has established in the community play in your life?

Do you act as a person outside of or under authority?

How willing are you to allow God to speak to you through His Word about the importance of the community?

Are you willing to grapple with the interplay that must exist between your life as an individual and the life of the community and to acknowledge that God may grow you through the community in ways you can never grow just doing your own thing with Jesus?

Our community groups will discuss some of these questions, as they examine Deuteronomy 11:1-7 this week. For more information about our community groups that meet around the Charleston area throughout the week, find all the details here.

Join us tomorrow, September 7 as we worship our great God together. We’re continuing in our Deuteronomy series with our senior pastor preaching from Deuteronomy 10:14-22. Check out previous sermons in this series here. We’ll start the morning with our Christian-Ed. hour beginning at 9:15 for coffee and fellowship. Then Tony Paladino will lead the adults in our discussion through Romans 14-15.

Here’s our electronic bulletin for Sunday that’s easily viewed on any tablet; we do offer paper bulletins (including a LARGE PRINT edition) on Sunday morning as well. Use the song lyrics and sermon passage to help prepare yourselves and your families for worship this weekend. You’ll also find a schedule for who’s serving in our various nurseries, a list of how to get involved in current ministry opportunities, and other details about our worship service and church life.

If you’re new or visiting, welcome to Charleston and Redeemer! We hope you’ll join us, and be sure to check out our details for Sunday worship including important information about parking.

The West Ashley community group gathered for an outreach cookout last Thursday evening at the Millses’ home in the Gadsden Green neighborhood of downtown Charleston, SC. Equipped with a grill, a few dozen hotdogs, a few dozen cookies, and some fantastic sides (even Mac&Cheese!) we braved the August heat to enjoy an evening of fellowship with neighbors and friends new and old. The kids had a blast playing in the dirt and eating as many sweets as they could sneak! We met folks from down the street and around the corner and even a few new faces from the West Ashley area. Todd Christian manned the grill, and Ian and Jamie Mills were gracious hosts offering their home for bathroom breaks and an escape from the heat and pesky bugs. We even topped off the evening with some cold watermelon from a friendly neighbor!

We really enjoyed it, and it has sparked some of the neighbors to start an evening walking group and to try to make gatherings like this a regular thing to build community in our neighborhood. Since Ian is home all day, he knows more of the neighbors than I do, and it was great for me to have an opportunity to meet some, too. –Jamie Mills

Redeemer’s newest community group begins Tuesday, March 25 in downtown Charleston, SC. Though we already have community groups that meet throughout the greater Charleston area, we’re so excited to finally have a community group meeting downtown again! Thomas Szymanski, one of our deacons, lives downtown, and his passion for reaching downtown Charleston is contagious:

My vision is to really, really treat this as something more than a Bible study or book study group. We can have a set-in-stone meeting on Tuesdays that could range from studies to fellowship (in someone’s house or in public) to community outreach/mission work, but I also want to ensure that we are a community group. That is to say that we will also do all of those things outside of a once-per-week, two-hour time frame. We all live so close and, on many occasions, are already congregating for social events or worship. I pray that we’ll truly develop to the point that we have a real family feel that can support one another when it comes to personal, physical, emotional, and especially spiritual support. That kind of trust and mutual accountability would be awesome!

If you’re interested in joining the downtown community group or checking out their first event, then get all the details on the group’s Facebook page.

Through the leadership of our community groups, we offer several women’s Bible studies in neighborhoods around the Charleston area. These Bible studies are open to all and an outreach effort to Redeemer women, friends, and neighbors. Here’s a list of our current studies.

Community Groups are the main ministry of Redeemer outside of Sunday morning worship. Connect with a community group during the week for great fellowship and Bible study. However, community groups at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, are much more than just Bible studies. These groups are like “house churches” where we want to live in community with each other like Paul writes about in Acts 2:42-47 because we’re a family on mission together.
